Luke Kennard 12 Points/4 Assists Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

Maybe pointing this out is a giveaway that I regularly run out of material for my descriptions, but I just noticed for the first time that Luke Kennard is balding. Like, really balding. It’s bad, folks. I’m estimating 1% hairline loss each game that he plays, but that’s a conservative number. It could be more….

Devin Harris 16 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

Devin Harris might be among the most forgotten veteran players in the NBA. He’s been on the Mavericks for quite a while now, and there are never any trade rumors swirling around him, so he never attracts the attention of other fanbases except when he scores in double-digits against their team. The national NBA discussion…

Wesley Matthews 23 Points/7 Threes/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

It’s sort of weird to think about, but Wes Matthews has only made more than seven three-pointers in a single game two times. He once made eight while playing for the Blazers, and back in December of 2015 he made ten of them for the Mavericks. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the Steph Curries and…

Josh Richardson 20 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

Reacting to a sharp knock on my door, I reluctantly get up from my highlights chair and walk to my front door. Upon opening it, I don’t see any visitors, but I do see a wrapped basket sitting at my feet. Confused, I pick it up and take it inside and set it on my…

Royce O’Neale 13 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

If there’s one lesson that I’ve recently learned, it’s that I shouldn’t avoid making a highlight video for a player just because they had a significantly better performance the game before. In this case, Royce O’Neale scored eighteen points a game ago, by far his best game as a pro, and those eighteen points make…

Joe Ingles 18 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

This is a good game from Joe Ingles, sure, but there simply is not enough jingling in this video. For a guy who possesses, among others, the nickname “Jinglin’ Joe”, this is unacceptable. I was expecting him to jingle all the way up the court, hit a three pointer, than jingle all the way back…

Jrue Holiday 28 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

The thumbnail image is the face you make when you realize that DeMarcus Cousins isn’t coming back and you’ll be lucky to win ten more games the rest of the season. Truthfully, there’s still time for the Pelicans to figure this out. Cousins provides a lot of production that is hard to replace (it’d be…

Joe Young 17 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

Joe “Ball Hog” Young is already 25 years old. And he had been held scoreless in 8 of his last 9 appearances before tonight. I was thinking about getting hyped for him, but after finding out those two nuggets of primo information, I’m going to reserve my hype until he puts together a solid, consistent…

Justise Winslow 16 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

Heat fans have, mercifully, stopped crowing so much about how they stole Justise Winslow in the draft. I think the logic was, since Danny Ainge threw his basketful of picks at the Hornets to get the 9th pick and draft him, he must be some sort of super-stud that would immediately transform a team. Turns…

Rodney Hood 30 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

Rodney Hood is involved in trade rumors right now, which is definitely a good thing. Jazz fans are about done with him, as far as I can tell, even though he’s not even that much worse than the deified Donovan Mitchell. I can think of some fanbases who would, at least initially and assuming their…
